The only time in the last ten years that I've reached for Apache was when I needed to put an LDAP auth reverse proxy on something— it looked like it was possible to do it with nginx, but would require running a separate script or dealing with Lua or something. On Apache it was batteries-included and a few lines of pasted-in config file.

I'd love to be shown a better way on that, but Apache did rack up a W for that one use case.

Caddy, hands down the most sane webserver config for a reverse proxy.

Thanks! That does look pretty reasonable: https://authp.github.io/docs/authenticate/ldap/ldap

I often find random parts of nginx hidden behind their paywall, and then I'll reach for Apache. Especially when creating load balancers

If you're on Linux, you could use haproxy
